Burning fire

Zhou Qizun's tone was hotter and sharper than the fire whip that punished him.

Guo Qingxuan gasped subconsciously, not knowing why she was timid of a mortal, but she and Zhou Qizun met eyes, and were shocked by a certain energy in this man's eyes.

"Sure enough, I made a big mistake in letting him enter that courtyard by himself in the morning." Zhou Qizun said coldly, "I know he is a liar, an unfamiliar bastard."

"Where are Lin Juan and Guo Xiaotong? Aunt Zhao is asleep?" Zhou Qizun pointed out the window, "It's impossible for them not to know about such a big movement, right?"

——No matter how soundly Lin Juan and Guo Xiaotong slept, they would definitely be able to sense the power of the mountain ghost.

"I asked them to guard Aunt Zhao." Guo Qingxuan sighed, "I put a sleeping formula on Aunt Zhao, so she won't wake up before dawn."

"Not necessarily, I'm just an exception." Zhou Qizun's words were neither yin nor yang, with complicated emotions in his tone.

He supported the window sill with one hand, jumped up, and flipped out the window neatly.It's a pity that when I landed a little bit, I sprained my foot, fell short of success, fell to the ground and fell into a big collapse.

"Although I don't know why, there is something wrong with your body, and you forced yourself to wake up." Guo Qingxuan went to pull Zhou Qizun to get up, "The mountain ghost's spells are very powerful, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, the legs are indeed a little soft." Zhou Qizun stood against the wall.

Guo Qingxuan took out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handed it over: "Wipe the blood off your hands first."

Just punched the window sill, and the knuckles were still bleeding.

Zhou Qizun picked up the tissue that Guo Qingxuan handed over, he suffocated and wiped the wound on his hand.

"I thought you would go crazy and go out to find him." Guo Qingxuan stared at Zhou Qizun, "The blood world is different from the mountain mist array, it is not used for siege. It can resist the evil spirits from outside, and the people inside can freely In and out."

Zhou Qizun raised his head to look at the blood-colored moon.

This half moon is very similar to his Zhang Jueming.

Incomplete, thin, hanging alone in the dark and hopeless night.It is so white.It's so pure.It hurts.It oozes blood.

"What did he tell you before he left?" Zhou Qizun asked Guo Qingxuan.

Guo Qingxuan couldn't say anything about Changshengling, she just said, "He said let's wait for him to come back."

"If he can't come back, I will let you take everyone to the Dragon Clan." Zhou Qizun didn't want Guo Qingxuan's nonsense, "What is the signal?"

Guo Qingxuan knew that she couldn't hide it from Zhou Qizun, so she could only tell the truth: "The red leopard. If the red leopard comes, it means..."

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Qizun said softly, not daring to use force.

No wonder, no wonder...he felt something was wrong.Zhang Jueming had always been obsequious, and he didn't dare to let a dumb fart die. Zhou Qizun asked himself many times, why did he fall in love with such an unfavorable coward.

How could you dare to do such a difficult task as a forced kiss this time, you unfavorable counselor?

It's because Zhang Jueming knew that his trip would be a disaster, and he might die without a place to bury him, so he just had to think about it.

——If he couldn't come back, that hysterical kiss would be the last and only thing Zhang Jueming took from him.

"He'll be fine, we'll wait for him to come back." Guo Qingxuan spoke quickly, responding to her anxiety.

"Don't comfort me. That's nonsense, who can guarantee it? My former comrade-in-arms...we often talk like this before we go out on missions, but some people still die."

"I annoy this kind of person the most." Zhou Qizun said hoarsely, "I annoy this shameless and self-righteous bastard the most."

"..." Guo Qingxuan was silent.Thinking of the longevity bell given by Zhang Jueming, she finally couldn't help saying, "Everything he does is for you."

"I know." Zhou Qizun turned his head and looked over.Guo Qingxuan noticed that his eyes were red.

"He is my man, of course I know it better than anyone else." Zhou Qizun said every word firmly, biting the iron nail firmly.

Even if Zhang Jueming never really promised him, promised him something, even if Zhang Jueming took a bite of him, he would abandon him.He also knows.

"Jiaming must have liked me for a long time." Zhou Qizun thought this way, and he didn't feel that he was shameless at all.

It was because he knew it too late, and it was because he loved Zhang Jueming too little.

"Tell me, why are you so weak when you are born as a human being? What is the meaning of being a human being? Originally, there are many sufferings and crimes in the world, but there are also demons and ghosts, who are vicious. We can't beat them all, and we can't hide them." Zhou Qizun asked out of thin air.

He had no answer, and neither did Guo Qingxuan.No one has an answer.

"What you said earlier was only half true." Zhou Qizun stared at the wound on his knuckles, "I have indeed gone crazy."

"But where am I going to find Zhang Jueming?" Zhou Qizun closed his eyelids wearily, and brushed his hair vigorously, "Rush out like a headless chicken. he."

The broken hair in front of his forehead fell down and fell limply, hanging weakly at the corner of Zhou Qizun's eyebrows: "Although I have the intention to kill, don't worry, I won't mess around."

The arrogance that was born was still strong and refused to collapse after years of painful beatings, but this night, just because Zhou Qizun looked up at the waning moon, that arrogance was shattered.He became pickled, abandoned his armor and dragged his troops, and was defeated like water.

Guo Qingxuan pondered over and over again, but no matter what, he couldn't squeeze out half a word of comfort. Saying nothing was useless. Now Zhou Qizun... this strong and fragile man, now only a hug from Zhang Jueming can save him.

There was a sudden noise from the window of Zhao Ting's house, Guo Qingxuan hurriedly looked over and saw Lin Juan sticking his head out, showing an anxious face: "Sister Xuan!"

Guo Qingxuan glanced at Zhou Qizun, and walked over immediately: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Aunt Zhao?"

"Aunt Zhao is fine." Lin Juan said anxiously, "It's Guo Xiaotong. Guo Xiaotong passed out and couldn't wake up even if he screamed."

Guo Qingxuan saw Lin Juan holding the rabbit in his arms, and the little white rabbit closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless.

Guo Qingxuan reached out and touched the rabbit's head, feeling the fluffy warmth of his palm, and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's okay."

"The mountain ghost is the lord of the evil spirits. Qi and blood can ward off evil spirits. Although Xiaotong has cultivated the righteous way, but his way is still shallow, and he has a strong monster nature. It is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable staying in the blood realm of the mountain ghost. Take good care of her and wait until dawn." It'll be fine once the fog clears."

"That's good." Lin Juan was relieved.

Guo Qingxuan looked at Zhao Ting who was sleeping soundly through the window.She moved her hand quickly and formed a seal, which was printed on the window sill.

It was an icy blue lotus print, the light flashed and then faded away.

"I added another layer of Garan lock. You must be safe. No matter what happens outside tonight, don't come out. Keep Aunt Zhao and Xiaotong safe."

"Okay." Lin Juan nodded, reached into his pocket with one hand, and pinched a few talisman papers, "Sister Xuan, be careful."

Lin Juan was about to close the window when he suddenly saw Zhou Qizun standing opposite him.He widened his eyes in shock: "Why did Brother Zhou come out! Isn't your lord..."

"I will protect him." Guo Qingxuan slapped the window shut, and locked Lin Juan into the room, so that he would not have to stretch his head again.

When the blood mist rose up earlier, the brat was terrified.

Guo Qingxuan stared at the window with a numb scalp, thinking that Zhang Jueming owed her a big favor and must come back safely.

"Shall I come in?" Zhou Qizun walked up to Guo Qingxuan and asked, "Is it better to stay under your nose?"

"Wait, don't make a sound!" Guo Qingxuan's face suddenly changed, she grabbed Zhou Qizun and blocked her behind.

"Something is coming." Guo Qingxuan said cautiously.

The two held their breath and listened carefully.With the cool wind, there seems to be a slight friction sound approaching.

"His, hiss, hiss..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound like a long snake spitting out a letter.

"On the roof!"

A groan like a knife came down from the top of his head, the voice was thin and sad, like a suona weeping blood, the sound was drawn out, and the pain pierced the heart!

"Get out of the way, it's about to fall!" Guo Qingxuan yelled.

Zhou Qizun was short, and rolled quickly on the ground, avoiding the shadows falling from the sky. He turned over and heard a "bang" at the same time!

Zhou Qizun quickly turned his head and saw a five-meter-long snake on the ground!

The snake was black and blue in color, cut off at seven inches, and broke into two pieces. The two pieces of the snake kept twitching, and black blood was bubbling from the cut.

"Zi Snake..." Guo Qingxuan's hands turned into dragon claws, giving birth to dense green scales, with sharp fingertips.

The blood mist around him became heavier, and amidst the permeating blood, Zhou Qizun saw black clouds surging above his head, as if something was rolling in the sky.

"What's up there?" Zhou Qizun asked.

Guo Qingxuan measured it carefully, and saw a snake's tail swaying in the blood-black cloud. The tail was different from ordinary snakes' tails, forked like two hooks!

"The east flows into the great river, and there are many strange snakes in it, several feet long, with tails! (Note)" Guo Qingxuan stomped on the writhing snake head on the ground, "There is an ancient beast on it, the hook snake!"

Guo Qingxuan's eyes widened without blinking, and suddenly her voice changed in shock: "No, there's something else! It still has a person hooked on its tail!"

The author says:

"Shan Hai Jing Zhong Shan Jing": "The east flows into the great river, and there are many strange snakes in it", [Jin Guo Pu's Note]: "There are hook snakes in Yongchang County today, several feet long, with tails, hooking people on the shore in the water Horses and oxen eat it."
